As far as I know it's the only Canterbury scene album on my computer, and I was only assuming it was one cause it said "Canterbury scene" as the genre. I guess I'll probably get around to those artists... eventually. Obviously I'd get around to Soft Machine at some point anyway. Is there any particular reason to care about the Canterbury scene if one is lukewarm to prog in general? I have no idea why it's such a famous scene tbh.
